2 Claims.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in machine tools and has particular relation to a machine especially adapted for machining or dressing large or heavy pieces, as for example, a punch holder of a die-set or the like.

The objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from a consideration of the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein a satisfactory embodiment of the invention is shown. However, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the details disclosed but includes all such variations and modifications as fall within the spirit of the invention and the scope of the appended claims.

In the drawings:

Figs. 8 and 9 are elevational views, at right angles to one another, of a connector employed; and

Fig. 10 is a front elevational view of a chuck or work holder employed in the machine.

Referring in detail to the drawings, the machine of the invention includes any suitable base structure, a portion of which is generally designated I0. As is customary in machine construction, the base I0 comprises a casting.

Extending from one side of an upper portion of the base are a pair of lugs or ears II mounting a' bar I2 pivotally supporting a motor base I3. This motor base has ear-like portions I4 :formed with it and which are pivotally mounted by the bar I2. At its opposite edge the base I3 is provided with depending ears I5 receiving a shaft I5c and such shaft also passes through the upper portions I'I of a Y-shaped member I8.

A bolt-like device I3 passes through the yoke portion of the member I8 and at its lower end includes an eye pivotally mounted on a stud 2 I. VNuts 22 and 23 on the bolt I9, at the upper 2 and lower ends of the yoke portion of member I8, are adapted for adjustment on suchgbolt'` to adjust the member I8 upwardly and downwardly moving the platform I3 about the rod I2 for adjustment of a belt drive, as will later appear.

`On the upper side of the platform I3 is a motor generally designated 24 and equipped with speed control means (not shown) adjustable on manipulation of the handle 25. Motor 24 drives a multiple pulley 26 over which are trained belts 21 also trained over a multiple pulley 28. The latter pulley is fast to a short shaft 29 which also mounts a relatively small diameter gear 33, in turn meshing with and driving a larger diameter gear 3| keyed or otherwise secured to a tubular shaft 32 extending forwardly in the upper portion of the casting or base III.

The tubular shaft 32 is mounted for rotation in front and rear bearing means 33. A plate or disc 34 is bolted or otherwise secured .to the forward end of the shaft 32 for rotation therewith. Such plate constitutes part of a chuck or other work holder, which latter is generally designated 35 and is located at the forward side of the upper portion 3S of the base or casting.

In addition to the plate 34, the chuck or work holder 35 includes a generally circular structure 31 bolted to the forward face of such plate. Grooves 38 are formed in the forward face of the structure 31 at four equally spaced points'and between these grooves the face of the structure is closed by plate-like segments 33. Along the edges of such segments and slightly overhanging the latter and the grooves 38, guide members 40 are mounted and are secured as by means of screws or the like 4I.

In the channels formed by the grooves 33 and the members 40, pairs of jaw carriers 42 and 43 are mounted. In the present work holder, four jaws are employed and it is planned that when a run of work is to be handled, two of these jaws are set to position and the other two are moved outwardly and inwardly to work release and work clamping positions to permit of removal of the work from the holder and the placing of work in the holder. The other two of the jaws being stationary and previously located, it will be understood that the work is properly positioned without the loss of time and with a minimum of effort.

The inner ends of the guide channels for the jaw carriers 42 and 43 are closed as by a plate 44 and the entire structure 31 is internally braced by integral portions 45 which also assist in supporting the plate. Each carrier 42 and 43 comprises an elongated body 46 having a T-shaped slot 41 opening through its forward face. On its forward face portions, at each side of said slot, the body is provided with teeth or serrations 48 than..

moved outwardly from the body 4B (to separate the teeth 48 and 49) and then adjusted along the body. Thereafter, the bolts 'are tightened to secure the jaws in their new positions. In order that the jaws may tightly clamp the Work they are preferably on their inner work engaging faces roughened or knurled or provided with the teeth 53, as shown in Fig. 6.

When the machine is in use, the jaws 55 of the'carriers 42 are fixed in position in accordance with the piece to be worked upon. The same is true of the jaws of the carriers 43. Then while the carriers 53 are in retracted positions, the work is positioned against the jaws 5i) of the carriers 42 and thereafter the carriers 43 are moved inwardly to bring their jaws against two other sides of the workwhereby kthe latter is clamped in position. The means for shifting the carriers 43 to and from clamping positions includes a bar54 passing through the tubular shaft 32 and adapted for slight reciprocating movement.

Such bar is connected with a piston 55a within an air cylinder'55 and at the proper times air under pressure is admitted to this cylinder to shift the bar forwardly andrearwardly and thereby shift the carriers 43 to and from their work clamping positions. Air under pressure is alternately admitted to the respective ends of the cylinder 55 being supplied and exhausted from the cylinder as through pipes 55h and 55C to manifolds 55d and 55e communicating with the-cylinder at the respective sides lof the piston 55a as through passways 55j and 55g. With this construction, while the cylinder 55 rotates with the bar v54 and the shaft 32, the pipes 55D and 55e are constantly in communication with the passways.

On its forward end, bar 54 mounts a cam device 55 fastened to the bar'as by bolt and nut means 5l passing through the bar and an opening 56a, in the'device or cam. Cam or device 56 has Akerfs 56h in a pair of'spaced portions. This cam cooperates with the heads 58 of stud-like portions 59 carried by crank 'devices 60 which latter are mounted within the structure 31 as on brackets 6l. The heads 58 are partly received in the Ykerfs 56h whereby as the device 55 is shifted by the bar 54, the heads, and parts associated therewith, will be shifted.

For the desired purpose, such brackets 6I carry pivots B2. The studs 59 'project from the long arms of cranks 60 and the short arms 53 of the latter enter sockets 64 provided in raised or thickened portions 6.5 on the inner sides of the body 45 of the jaw carriers 43. Adjustable studs, as for example, screws 66, are threaded through the structure 3l to engage flats 61 on the heels of the cranks 65. Such screws may belocked in place by second screws 68.

With the described construction, when'the bar 54 is moved forwardly, the cam 56 acting on the heads 58, rocks the cranks 60 toward the rear of the machine whereby the carriers 43 are moved inwardly to carry their jaws 50 into clamping engagement with the work. V4On reverse movement of the bar, said jaws are carried outwardly to released position. The screwsV 65 limit the 4 extent of rocking movements of the cranks 60 so that such movements in outward directions are conned to those which are necessary to release the work so that excessive movement of the carriers 43 is avoided.

From the above description, it will be seen that the motor 24 through the pulleys 25 and 28 and the belts 2l and the gearing 3i) and 3! drives the chuck or Work holder 35. Additionally, it will be clear that proper timing of the supply of air under pressure to the cylinder 55 results in opening and closing of the chuck or work holder to release work therefrom and to clamp work therein.

While the chuck or work holder has been shown and described as having two jaws which are set in rpredetermined positions and two movable jaws for clamping Vthel work against the stationary jaws-and for releasing the work, it will be understood that the machine of the invention is Ynot limited to such a con-struction of work holder. It' desired, all of the laws may be operated by means similar to that employed for operating the jaws by shifting of the carriers 43. However, where a run of work is to be performed, it is desirable to position two of the jaws so that work is easily located in the machine.

After the work is positioned in the holder or chuck 35, it is operated on by a suitable tool and the mounting and operation of Ythese tools will now be considered. At its upperY side and at each of its edges, a forward portion 59 of the base is thickened to provide a pair of relatively long ways 'd von which there is mounted a slide H including forwardly directed armportio'ns l2 located onsaid Ways and providing for contact of 'the slideand ways over a considerable longitudinal distance and a considerable area in all positions of the slide on the'ways.

In addition to its portions engaging the upper surfaces of the ways '19, the slide includes portions l3 vagainst the outer edges of the ways and to the undersides of such portions relatively Aheavy strips 'lll are secured as by screws '15. These strips extend under the overhanging edges 'of the ways so as t0 prevent vertical movement of the slide relative to the ways. Between one of the ways and oneof the portions 73, a gib Z5 is located and is adjustable to compensate for wear von the manipulation of a/bolt orscrew l?. Clearly, the slide ll is movable inwardly and outwardly on ways 1D toward and from the chuck or work holder 35.

To the desired end, such slide is provided with a depending lug 78 to which is fixed a piston rod 19 at its inner or rear end carrying a piston 85 located within a cylinder 8i mounted in depending portions 82 and 83 of the main base casting. Fluid under pressure (liquid or air) is admitted to and exhausted from thecylinderl as Ythrough pipes 84 and v235 for shifting the piston 3) in the cylinder and thus forshifting the slide 'il on the ways 'lil so as to move such slide toward and from the chuck or Work holder 35. The'slide may be moved in various timed relation with the operation of the other parts'of the machine, as will later be set forth.

Mounted on the upper side of the slide ll `are a pair of cross slides S5 and 81, respectively. At one lower edge, eachY of the slides'lt and 8l includes a dovetail portion 88 intertted with a portion '89 of the slide 1i, and at itsother edge-each cross slide includes a portion 90 locatedlunder a heavy strap or`plate-like vportion '5l carried by the slide 1| whereby vertical movement of the cross slides on the slide 1| is prevented.

A gib 92 may be provided between the portion 99 of each cross slide and an upstanding portion 93 of slide 1|. It is this upstanding portion 93 which carries the plate-like straps 9|. Adjustment of the gibs 92 is provided for by the screws 92a. With the cross slides mounted as described, it will be clear that they are adapted for movement toward and from one another in directions transverse to the directions in which slide 1| is adapted to be moved.

Means including piston and cylinder constructions are :provided for moving the cross slides 86 and 81 and in this connection a cylinder 94 is built into the underside of the slide 86 and within such cylinder is located a piston 95, the piston rod 98 of which is tubular and extending out through one end of the cylinder has its outer end anchored in a member or part 91 formed with or rigidly secured to the slide 1 A pipe 98, including a flexible connection (not shown) whereby the pipe may move with the slide 86 is fastened to the cylinder head 98 and is adapted to supply iiuid under pressure (either air or liquid) to the cylinder 94 at the forward side of the piston 95. Somewhat similarly, a pipe |99 is adapted to supply fluid under pressure to a pas sage |9| in the member 91, which passage communicates through openings |9 la with a passage |92 through the piston rod 96 and thus places the pipe |99 in communication with the interior of cylinder 94 at the rear of piston 95.

With this construction, when fluid under pressure is admitted through the pipe 98, the cylinder 99, and thus the entire slide 86, is caused to move toward the right in Fig. 5, it being understood that the piston 95 is stationary. Thereafter, on fluid under pressure being admitted through the pipe |99 and exhausted through the pipe 98, the cylinder 94 and thus the slide 86 will be moved back to or toward the extreme inner position of Fig. 5.

A similar arrangement is provided by moving the slide 81. Thus, Within such slide is a cylinder |93 having therein a piston |94, the tubular rod |95 of which is lixed in a member |96 corresponding with the member 91 above described. In Fig. fluid under pressure is being admitted to the cylinder |93 at the forward side of the piston |94 so that said cylinder and the slide 81 are being moved toward the left in said iigure.

On reversal of the flow of fluid under pressure, the same will be supplied through the pipe |98, passage |99, and openings |99a, and thus to the interior of the tubular piston rod |95, and to the cylinder at the inner side of piston |94. Pipe |91 includes a iiexible connection (not shown) whereby the pipe may shift back and forth with cylinder |93 and slide 81. Then the cylinder and the slide 81 will be moved inwardly or toward the slide 86.

It will be understood that the pipes 98` and |91 must move with the respective cylinders and cross slides and to accommodate such movement of the pipes, slide 1| is provided with elongated openings or slots ||9 toward each of its outer end portions. The rods or tubes 96 and |95 are anchored to the end members 91 and |96 as by hollow nuts |9a closed as by plugs ||9b. These plugs may be loosened as required to permit of bleeding of any entrapped air from the hydraulic system.

Adjustable stops are provided for controlling the strokes of the cross slides 86 and 81. To

the desired end, a lug (see Fig. 3) is attached to each slide or formed witheach such slide. On the upper face of each of the plates 9| is a bracket ||2 and threaded through such brackets are micrometer screws |3, adapted to be locked in adjusted positions by nuts ||4.

Obviously, these screws` are in the inward path of movement of the lugs when they move with the slides 86 and 81 and will thus limit the inward movements of the slides. Actually each screw includes a head ||3a (see Fig. 6) having micrometer graduations thereon to be read in connection with a line ||3b inscribed or otherwise formed on its cooperating lug V| Somewhat similar means (see Fig. 1) are provided by controlling the inward `and outward movements of the slide 1|. As here shown, such means includes a lug ||5 fastened to the slide and brackets ||6 and ||1 fastened to the outer surface of a side of the base |9. These brackets support adjustable screws ||8 located in the path of movement of the lug I5 and adapted to be secured in adjusted positions by nuts: ||9.

Clearly, as slide 1| is moved inwardly, it will be stopped at a predetermined position by engagement of the lug ||5 with the inner screw |8 and movement of the slide outwardly is limited by engagement of said lug with the outer screw ||8. These screws each include a head ||8a to be engaged by the lug ||5 and micrometer graduations on the screw heads are to be read in conjunction with marks ||5a on the lug ||5.

Slide 86 is provided with an L-shaped raised portion including ribs |29 and |2|. An L-shaped wear plate 9 is located on the slide about the ribs |29 and |2|. Against the wear plate 9 and parallel with the rib |29, a tool holder |22 is located and this tool holder is provided with longitudinally extending slots |23 through which pass bolts |24 for clamping the holder to the slide. Tool clamping means |25 of the holder |22 is adapted to receive a tool, as for example, a tool |26 (Fig. 6), and the latter is held in the clamp as by screws |21. A second tool holder |28 comprises a plate-like body also on the wear plate 9 and having an edge aligned by the rib |2| and this second holder is provided with longitudinally extending slots |29 through which pass bolts |39 for securing the holder in adjusted position transversely of the slide 86.

A work clamp |3| on the inner endl of the holder |28 is shown as mounting a tool :|32 held in the clamp as by bolts |33. Clearly, the tools may be adjusted slightly inwardly and outwardly of the clamps |25 and |3| and in addition, the holders |22 and |28 may be adjusted in the direction of the length of their slots |23 and |29, respectively. Thus, the holder |22 may be adjusted in the direction of movement of the slide 86 while the holder |28 may be adjusted in the direction transverse to suchl direction of movement.

Slide 81 at its inner end has an upstanding rib |34 for locating a wear plate 8 mounting a tool holder |35 having longitudinally extending slots |36 through which pass bolts |31 for securing the holder in position on the slide 81. Obviously, on loosening of the bolts |31, the holder 35 may be adjusted in directions transverse to those in which the slide 81 is movable. A clamp |38 on the inner end of the holder |35 mounts a tool |39 held in position in the clamp by screws |49. Additionally, a bevelling tool |4| is secured in the holder 35 as by screws |42. In Fig. 6, a piece of work |43 is shown by dot and dash lines as held in the chuck 35 and in addition, vin this view, the base is shown as provided with .a relatively large opening |46 Abelow the work vholder for the passage of chips.

In using the machine yof the invention, assuming the various tools to be in place and properly adjusted and that the two `stationary jaws yof the work holder or chuck have been set, a piece of work, as for example, the punch holder V|43 of a die-set, is disposed against the stationary jaws of the chuck and iiuid under pressure supplied to the cylinder 55 so as to have the rod 154 shifted to bring the movable work holder jaws', 'that is, the work .holder jaws on the carriers' '43, into engagement with the work. 'Now .the work 'is held and the operator starts the motor 24 which through the described belting and gearing serves to rotate the work holder.

At this time, the slides 82 `and 81 are in their outer positions, as is the slide ll. Fluid under pressure is supplied to the cylinder 2l to vbring the slide 'il and thus the cross slides inwardly or toward the work. However, at this time, the cross `slides. are themselves in their outer positions. `rihe slide 1| .is moved inwardly until its lug H5 engages the inner stop screw |18. Then the cross slides Vare fed. The cross slides may be used in various combina-tions depending en the tools.

Thus, in the drawing, slide Se may be moved inwardly to haverthe tool I2@ make a roughing out on the face |41 of the work. The relationship between the tool |26 and the tool E32 is preferably such that as the tool lZt` reaches a certain point in `its inward progress acrossthe face lidi, the tool $132 will serve to machine the face @d8 of the .pin-like part of the work. As the slide 31 is moved inwardly, the tool |39 may make a finishcuton the face `MIand at about the limit of inward movement -of slide 81, the tool lll may dress or bevel the Vend of the stem-like portion r4.9 of the work. Thereafter, the slide Il may be fed outwardly to have tool E26 make a roughing cut on the sides of the portion M9 of the work and -to have the tool 139 make a nnishing lcut on thissarne-pa-rt. Y

VSeveral*timing relationships between the slides may be provided. For example, the slide vlili may be moved entirely inwardly or to carry Vits tools across the face B47 while the slide 81| remains sta-- tionary. rIhen the slide 81 maybe moved inwardly Ato have 'its tool function. Thereafter, slide 1| may be movedoutwardly'tohave the tools |22 'and |32 dress the periphery of the stud |49. Instead of the above procedure, slide 8l may'move inwardly to carry its tool |39 across the work vface S27 immediately in the rear ci the operation of the tool E20.

When the slides Se and 81 reach the predetermined limits of movement toward one another, their stop lugs l i i engage the previously set stop screws M3. 'It vwill be'understood that when the slide il is moved the cross slides S5 and S1 must Amove with it. However, as to Vmovements'toward nd from one another, .the cross slides are independently controllablerandleach is provided with 'own cylinder and piston 'construction for effecting movements of such slides toward andfrom one another crin directions across work held by the holder' The machine of the invention is especially adapted for the rapid machining of heavy pieces. rlhe work is quickly positioned and held in the chuck and thereafter the feeds of the slides are `all brought about by power operated means. A

Cil

heavy rigid structure is 'provided so that a very substantial roughing cut may be made in directions longitudinally of the machine as well as transversely thereof.

rIhe holders |22 and |28 provide for independent adjustment of the tools |26 and |32 relative to one another, and relative to the slide A|36. Eurther, adjustment of the holder |35 inwardly and outwardly of the machine is provided for and this holder lis of such construction that tools |39 and 14| may be adjusted to more retracted positions relatively, if that is desired. The same is true of the tools 29 and |32 mounted by the holders $22 and |28, respectively.

Having thus set forth the nature of my invention, what I claim is:

1. In a machine of the character described having a work holder, the improvement comprising a slide, meansl for moving 'said slide toward and from the work holder, apair of slides on the first mentioned slide, means for moving the slides of said pair at right angles to said rst mentioned slide toward .and from one another, .a tool holder oneach slide of said pair and adjustable thereon in directions parallel with the directions of movement of the rst mentioned slide, a second tool holder on one of the slides of said pair, .and said second tool holder adjustable in the directions in which the slides of the pair are movable.
